In this paper we empirically analyze several algorithms for solving a Huff-like competitive location and design model for profit maximization in the plane. In particular, an exact interval branch-and-bound method and a multistart heuristic already proposed in the literature are compared with uego (Universal Evolutionary Global Optimizer), a recent evolutionary algorithm. Both the multistart heu...

Heat extraction from deep, hot rocks for energy production is based on water circulation through a man made fracture or natural fractures. As multiple and non-planar fractures in a stress field affect the geothermal reservoir behavior, so the capability to simulate multiple fractures and joints is needed to help reservoir design and operation. A 3D model is developed in this work to simulate an...

The reported incidence of gout and hyperuricaemia in polycythaemia vera has varied in different series. Thus Tinney, Polley, Hall, and Giffin (1945) reported clinical gout in 4 7 per cent. of 168 cases, Videbaek (1950) in 9 per cent. of 125 cases, and Lawrence, Berlin, and Huff (1953) in 7 per cent. of 159 patients, and unspecified arthritis in a further 14 per cent. On the other hand, Wasserma...

That most of the vitamin B6 taken in the body is excreted in the urine as 4-pyridoxic acid (PIC), has been reported by Huff (1), Sarett (2), Butler (3) and MƒÓller (4), and its simple method of estimation has been discussed from various angles. It has also been found that of the three forms of vitamin B6, PIC excretion from pyridoxal (PAL) is most rapid and large in amount, possibly due to the ...

The problem of metal corrosion resulting from contamination by palmar sweat is common to many industrial occupations. Constant handling of metal parts by some individuals causes an accumulation of rust (Fig. 1). In the manufacture of highlyfinished metal products, for example ball-bearings, and also in subsequent assembling and packing processes, serious consideration must be given to this effe...

A fundamental aspect of everyday processing involves identifying discrete events within continuously unfolding sensory experience. However, the processes enabling determination of event boundaries remain poorly understood. Recently, inconsistent conclusions have emerged regarding attentional processes associated with detection of event boundaries. Use of the Dwell-Time Paradigm has indicated en...

The fracture-controlled matrix unit is commonly found in low-permeability fractured reservoirs. Due to the permeability difference between fracture system and system, a large amount of oil will remain during traditional water injection development, thus limiting reservoir productivity. However, special imbibition mode provides breakthrough for secondary recovery. In this paper, based on model s...
